[ better, recommended, but not necessary ]

At the moment, the used Javascript code is in prototype state.
Right now I am kind of satisfied, with what there is. The theoretical possibilities
for some neat libraries, with new standards like SVG or MathML, are endless. I already
played with some more complex placement schemes - which was kind of awkward.

The Code is GPL'ed, it kind of gracefully downgrades and it is supposed to work cross-browser.
Cross-browser meaning Gecko and IE. I think Konqueror lacks proper javascript support,
and Opera lacks some serious dedication from my side. I saved myself a lot of work, by
utilizing functions of Mike Foster's
X libraries / Cross-Browser.com. Great Stuff,
very much recommended.

'In the end, I am not even sure, whether HTML was meant for stuff like that. Maybe other
formats, like PDF (see links below), satisfy the need for more advanced slides better.

I welcome comments.

Update july 2005

Didn't do any developemnt of DHTML-Slides lately. The javascript implementation of
the mozilla project was changed, but Mike already considered those changes in his X libraries,
so by inlcluding the latest version, everything is okay, and running like it used to.

I did a small fun online presentation for a lanparty team. It was received well. I don't want
to post a link here as some of the used pictures are private.

Update october 2004

I finished I nice real world prototype, which I can't publish, because there are some
pictures involved, I don't have rights to show here. But still, it turned out pretty nice -
just trust me.

somehow the positioning API from the gecko engine got changed and everything is kind of
messed up. I'am just gonna wait for Mike to adjust his X libraries.

pylize
- uses pyton to generate html slides. A little bit dynamic - but only for gecko.
Excuse me, what is the point of making html slides which do not work in IE?
It is a reimplementation of
PLies which is using perl.

Static solutions (e.g. axpoint) - even though vector based -
are not an option. Even less acceptable are static pixel based solutions like
latex2slides. Of course there have always been lecturers
(e.g. jeffrey zeldmann)
using plain html for their presentations - neat and flexible - but not satisfying.
